Andy Murray vs Jannik Sinner: Dubai Tennis Championships live stream, TV channel, UK start time, h2h

Andy Murray continues his Dubai Tennis Championships campaign with a tough round of 16 match against fourth seed Jannik Sinner.

The Brit was pushed hard by Christopher O’Connell in the previous round, losing a first-set tiebreak before turning it around and winning 6-7 6-3 7-5.

As ever with Murray it was another battling performance, and the 34-year-old was relieved to come through the test.

“I was very frustrated early on in the match, I couldn’t quite find my game,” Murray said.

“I managed to serve a bit better as the match went on which helped me a lot and just managed to tough it out in the end.

“I still feel I can compete at the highest level. It’s not easy, physically it’s very challenging for me, but winning matches like that is very satisfying.”

He’ll have to step up if he wants to get the better of Sinner, ranked tenth in the world.

The Italian reached the quarter-finals of the Australian Open, but he too was pushed all the way in his opening match in Dubai, having to save three match points before getting the better of Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

The round of 16 match between Andy Murray and Jannik Sinner will take place on Wednesday, February 23.
